and ronald reagan is -- chris christie is not ronald reagan either. >> it is pretty flattering, you have all these people saying the field has a hole, we need you, you're the guy who can beat obama, we can raise a boat load of money for you. >> a ton of money for the re-election campaign for the governor of new jersey. four years ago, like today, the polling had hillary clinton at 47%, barack obama at 26%. on our side, the republican side, giuliani 28%, thompson 23%, mccain 15%. if you took mccain and obama and the points, you did very well. >> mccain and obama in the points, i missed that bet. inintro, i played some of the views. you look great, you get in the race and people scrub your record and they look. people talk about electability, but primaries are about ideology. so we heard what he said about immigration. that would be a tough sell to conservative voters. how about this, on gun control. he said this in an interview with sean hanity in october 2009, what i support are common sense laws that will allow people to protect themselves. but i'm also very concerned about the safety o

but what made it morning in america for ronald reagan? in the year prior to his election, this is the magic number. the jobless rate dropped to 7.2%. the president needs the jobless rate to drop like it did for ronald reagan if he wants to be re-elected. that's really the bottom line. what the unemployment number is next year is crucially important. so is it morning in america? john avalon joins us, jamal simmons, democratic strategist and david fromme, cnn contributor. all right, john, i've got to say i was pretty amazed at the coincidence that 8.5% was unemployment a year out from reagan's re-election. by the way, that number for barack obama is down a full percent from a year ago, but it's the next six months that matter. >> that's exactly right. the symmetry is amazing and the trend is obama's friend. this is great news for the country and good news for obama's re-election campaign. but the real issue is the dynamic. what was behind the drop in unemployment when ronald reagan was in office was also massive growth in gdp, 8% in the thi

at this point in ronald reagan's presidency it was 44%. all three of them as you know went on to get themselves re-elected. how much should we read into this slight decline in obama's approval number? >> we shouldn't say he can't be re-elected. you can have a slump in your approval rating and be re-elected. the most significant factor is the liberals aren't happy with him. so a key question for the president even if they get mad about this deal can he get his base back? he's got time before the election. one thing is significantly different, ronald reagan 8% unemployment, the economy was growing. it had started to come out of recession. bill clinton he had ross perot. so when bill clinton of at 46%. he won the presidency with 43% and won re-election running against bob dole. now the iraq war of getting going there that would be where george w. bush's numbers came down but he went on to win re-election by the time he got to re-election it was a closer dynamic. >> long way to go. thanks, john very much. she's the force behind the embattled m
